Selena Gomez Revealed Why She and Taylor Swift Have Such a Powerful Friendship
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are the very definition of best friends. The two are truly each other's biggest fan, and as Selena detailed in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, there's a reason their bond is so powerful.
Before releasing her third studio album Rare on Friday (January 10), Selena sat down with WSJ to spill some details about her life. The star, who frequently takes her rightful time out of the spotlight to disconnect from social media, revealed there's more to her friendship with Taylor that the public doesn't see. The former Disney Channel star said that she instantly clicked with Taylor, and the two bonded over mutual hardships. “We both went through sh*t at the same time,” Selena said. “She taught me a lot about how I should be treated at a young age.”
Selena explained that the pair "don't necessarily feel the need to post about everything" they do together, and for that reason, some parts of their friendship with rightfully remain out of the spotlight. “She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected," Selena said of Taylor. "Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It’s been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don’t agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything.”
As for Taylor, she also felt that instant connection, and she told WSJ, "I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”
It definitely sounds like the two have a very powerful relationship, and while they do share some of their BFF status with social media, it's also important to remember that they do deserve their privacy. While we love to see it when they support one another and share 'grams of their fun, we're happy to hear that they find time outside of being major stars to make that happen.
